UFC 327 recap: Buffer error, Gable Steveson signs, Costa's resurgence

UFC 327 produced several notable storylines beyond the fights. Bruce Buffer incorrectly announced the Padilla fight result as a majority decision when it was actually a draw, with fighters only learning the real outcome backstage. Gable Steveson, a protégé of Jon Jones, signed with the UFC, while Jones himself hinted at a possible return. Paulo Costa's performance at light heavyweight was praised as a career resurgence, with observers questioning why he spent so many years damaging his health cutting to middleweight. The Reyes-Walker bout was considered the most boring of the entire card. Josh Hockit's performance impressed President Trump and earned him a fight with Derrick Lewis scheduled for the White House lawn.
